"Spirit anointing does not give one
special abilities in regard to... understanding the Bible."
Hi-
If what you say above is true, then why is the "spirit-anointed" "faithful and discreet slave class" as represented by the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses considered the only true "channel of communication" between God and mankind by Jehovah's Witnesses? It would seem that being spirit anointed *does* give one a special relationship with God that allows them to interpret and understand the Bible better than other Christians. If it does not, then it would seem that all Jehovah's Witnesses could interpret the Bible for themselves and would not need the Governing Body or the Faithful and Discreet Slave Class to do it for them.
